Eagles player Jason Kelce was not only dressed to impress but gave a rousing speech (transcript below) to the crowd during the Eagles Super Bowl Parade…He got a few things off his chest…”Big dogs run faster”…

“Philadelphiaaaa!! If you love the Eagles let me get a hell yeah! If you love the Philadelphia Eagles, let me get a hell yeah! I’m going to take a second to talk to you about underdogs. I know Lane and Chris just talked about this but I don’t think it’s been beaten home enough.

“Howie Roseman, a few years ago, relinquished all control pretty much in this organization. He was put in the side of the building where I didn’t see him for over a year. Two years ago, when they made a decision, he came out of there a different man. He came out of there with a purpose and a drive to make this possible. And I saw a different Howie Roseman. An underdog!

“Doug Pederson. When Doug Pederson was hired, he was rated as the worst coaching hire by a lot of freaking analysts out there in the media. This past offseason, some clown named Mike Lombardi told him that he was the least qualified head coach in the NFL! Doug Pederson! The man who went for it on fourth down in the Super Bowl with a trick play! He wasn’t playing just to be mediocre. He’s playing for a Super Bowl. And it don’t stop with him. It does not stop with him.

“Jason Peters was told he was too old. Didn’t have it anymore. Before he got here, he was the best freaking tackle in the NFL. Big V was told he didn’t have it. Stefen Wisnieski ain’t good enough. Jason Kelce‘s too small. Lane Johnson can’t lay off the juice. Brandon Brooks has anxiety.

“This entire organization is a bunch of driven men to accomplish something. We’re all a bunch of underdogs and you know what underdogs is? It’s a hungry dog. And Jeff Stoutland has had this in our building for five years. It’s a quote in the O-line room that has stood on the wall for the last five years: Hungry dogs run faster. And that’s this team! We wanted it more! All the players, all the coaches, front office. Jeffrey Lurie, everybody wanted it more. And that’s why we’re up here today. That’s why we’re the first team in Eagles history to hold that freaking trophy.

“You know who the biggest underdog is? It’s y’all, Philadelphia. For 52 years, y’all have been waiting for this. You want to talk about underdog? You want to talk about a hungry dog? For the last 52 years, you have been starved of this championship. Everybody wonders why we’re so mean. Everybody wonders why the Philadelphia Eagles don’t have the nicest fans. If I don’t eat breakfast, I’m f—— pissed off!

“No one wanted us! No one liked this team. No analyst liked this team to win the Super Bowl and nobody likes our fans. And you know what? I’ve just heard one of the best chants from this past day. And it’s one of my favorite and it’s new and I hope y’all learn it. Because I’m about to drop it right now. You know what I got to say? To all those people that doubted us, to all those people who counted us out and to everybody who said we couldn’t get it’s done. What my man Jay AJayi just said: ‘F— you!’

“(Singing) No one likes us, no one likes us, no one likes us, we don’t care. We’re from Philly, f—— Philly, no one likes us, we don’t care. No one likes us, no one likes us, we don’t care. We’re from Philly, f—— Philly, no one likes us, we don’t care. E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles!”
